+1 again on Asterisk since it has the ability to connect to icecast/shoutcast streams (one you manage or existing internet radio) or the ability to just stream from a local directory and it isn't black magic - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf As Alex said earlier why would you use an appliance when not using one works so well? I would only go the appliance route if this was a premise based system and even then I would probably suggest not using one.

Hi Adam,
I don?t know what is the limit on simultaneous calls for this device, but it might be worth checking out.

When we have a customer who is not happy with our Music on Hold options, one of our solutions involves dropping an ATA onsite (Cisco/Linksys running the Streaming Audio Service) that the customer connects their own audio source into. This ATA registers to our system and when presented a call goes off-hook and plays music. These ATAs are limited to 10 simultaneous calls.
We are currently looking for a solution like this that would handle say 50+ calls. I?ve looked around and so far have not found anything. I realize we could theoretically do this with an Asterisk server but we?re ideally looking for a product that?s already baked instead of developing one.
Any ideas?
